I don’t. With his contract, the Braves would have to chip in a lot of money and that would lessen the potential package in return.Should we trade Riley given his contract and performance trajectory?

Exactly. If a team views him as viable mid-season SP depth / postseason swing depth, and will pay the requisite contenders’ premium, I think that return would likely be worth more to the Braves in 2026 and beyond.Sure, but if someone overpays you have to sling him.
This was last month.Would like more examples of AA talking out both sides of his mouth.
And regardless of that, as stated that article is 1.5 years old. Things change in that span.
Last month was quite a few months ago in the Big ‘25.This was last month.

But Riley and Albies won’t?Along with buying Correa, get sandy alcantara too. Both are at absolute lowest value points and I think both will rebound nicely.
Riley probably will. Ozzie is doneBut Riley and Albies won’t?

Holmes is interesting chip. I didn't realize he has 4+ years of control left. When used correctly he is actually a valuable member of a team.
He might be a good cheap piece to keep around with a competent manager.. that said, if a team wants to send a few prospects, he could return some value if you don't believe him being a 2+ win pitcher.
Prince Albert should be added to the list. No reason to have a 35 year old 1 war pitcher making 7 million in 2026.. pay the rest of his 2025 salary and see what lottery tick you can get.
Holmes should easily get a pick like this.O's just traded a BP arm for the 37th pick of the upcoming draft. This is exactly the type of move AA should be making this very moment.
Holmes has more value than Baker.. but Baker is cheap and controlled.. Dodd would have been a closer comp..Holmes should easily get a pick like this.
